OK...so here is the basic deal. I sit and watch my news at night, read the paper, listen to talk radio, etc. All that seems to be of import to anyone these days is choosing sides. Now don't get me wrong, side choosing is not only sometimes needed, but there is also most always a right and wrong. What bothers me the most about my great nation is that most folks seem to simply choose to be on a side or not, without actually knowing what the hell the "side" they have chosen is. We follow this up by claiming that we know God happens to hold our personal belief on a given subject and is therefore on our "side". This holds true even for those who claim not to believe in a higher power than that of man. The only difference being that since they claim to be athiest or agnostic they will tell you that any "reasonable" person must hold the same opinion. I take this to mean that to hold a different opinion than this person is to be in fact "unreasonable".
     
     Another thing that I have noticed, and cosider to quite disturbing is the propensity America has for both short and long term memory loss. Couple this with our appetite for every consumer good available and the desire to have it instantly and one could draw the conclusion that we simply do not give a damn about the rest of the planet. I do not believe this to be the case, but the argument can be made. 
 
    The basic idea for this blog began as a conversation I had with my wife, who is a writer by trade. She suggested this as a good forum for me to basically, as the name of the blog implies, throw out the BS card when I feel it is needed. I have several ideas for my next posting, but will save final judgement as to the nature of my first rant utill I watch the news tonight, LOL!

     For the record, I will most likely take sides, but I promise to know what I'm siding with. I invite and hope to receive spirited debate and comment. I don't think God gives one hoot who wins the next election, or is altogether on anyones side. It seems to me that most humans are not on His side so why sould we assume God is on ours?
